Week 6: Books for Unit

My unit is all about researching animals, and collecting facts on those animals. My 10 books are nonfiction animal books that I found that kids can use while doing their research for their informative paper.


Eye to Eye: How Animals See The World; Hardcover; Author - Steve Jenkins
This book is about animal eyes. I thought this would be something different that students could look at. They could use it as apart of their characteristics paragraph. This is a good book for student's who get done early and want to add something interesting about their animal.
A Turtle's Life (Watch It Grow)
This is a book all about turtles. If a student is doing their paper over turtles, this book would be a great resource for them. It will tell them many facts over a turtles characteristics, diet, habitat, and predators. 
Tigers (National Geographic Readers Series)
This book talks about all things tigers. It includes beautiful pictures and facts galore. It is a reading level 2 book. 
Polar Bears (National Geographic Readers Series: Level 1)
This book talks about all things polar bears. It also includes lots of facts and pictures telling the reader all there is to know about polar bears at a level 1 reading level.

Great Migrations: Whales (National Geographic Readers Series)
This book talks about the migration of whales. This is something students can use when looking at their habitat and characteristics. It includes facts, pictures, and is at a level 3 reading level.
Secrets of Animal Camouflage: A Shine-a-Light Book
This book looks at many different animals and their camouflage. This can be used to talk about the animals characteristics, habitat, and predator/prey. Camouflage contributes to all of these things for some animals.
Children's Encyclopedia of Animals
This encyclopedia of animals will be great for all student's to use for their research. It includes a variety of information on a variety of animals. This book is sure to have something that everyone can use in their research. 

This book is about animal footprints. Student's can use this book when talking about the characteristics of their animal.
Land Habitats (Introducing Habitats)
This book is about land habitats for animals. This will help some student's when it comes to their research about where their animal lives if they are a land animal.

Deadliest Animals (National Geographic Readers Series)
This book talks about the worlds deadliest animals. This would be a great book to use when looking at the predator and prey portion of our research. It is a level 3 reading level.

  2. Kids love National Geographic. They have great pictures and articles that teach them about non-fiction topics. I think around 4th grade, is when they start getting hooked on certain things , like animals of the world, and these are great to use to help fill their minds. I have not seen the eye to eye book before, but I want to read it. I think the students would find it very interesting and they would learn something from it.
